Cotton, 24, of Birmingham, tried to smuggle the £200 footwear out of the Premier League club’s training ground.

Her boyfriend Aaron Hinds, 25, a security guard at the complex, planned to use them for his Sunday League match.

But the pair’s plot fell apart when CCTV cameras, installed at the training ground after a spate of thefts, caught them red-handed.

Hinds was filmed selecting boots his size which he passed to his girlfriend who stuffed them inside her leggings.

Cotton then pulled down her jumper over them.

She claimed she thought he only planned to borrow them.

But yesterday she was convicted of theft by magistrates in Walsall, West Mids, and will be sentenced on Monday.

Dad-of-one Hinds, from Birmingham, was given a 12-month community order with 200 hours unpaid work after admitting two thefts and a burglary at an earlier trial.

As well as 26-year-old Scotland star Dorrans’s boots, he stole a pair of trainers owned by Albion midfielder James Morrison, 27, and was caught on CCTV taking keys to the training ground’s laundry room from where he also pinched a club T-shirt.

JPs were told Hinds planned to use the kit to play football because he could not afford to buy his own.
